5.9. Sand Application and Rolling. This SBST variational method can be used to repair
bleeding pavement. The following steps should be conducted.
5.9.1. Apply hot sand. Sand should be heated to above 275 degrees Fahrenheit (135 degrees
Celsius) and then the sand can be spread with a tailgate or box spreader, or by hand. The
recommended application rate is 10 to 15 pounds per square yard (5 to 8 kilograms per square
meter).
5.9.2. Roll the sand. Immediately after spreading the sand, it shall be rolled with a pneumatic-tire
roller.
5.9.3. Sweep excess material. After the treated area has sufficiently cooled, an appropriate
sweeping method should be used to remove excess sand.
